MX2
The MX2 division showcased
two up-and-down motos, which
were anything but predictable.
The first moto saw the two Bel-
gian brothers, Sacha and Lucas
Coenen, leading their home race.
On the opening lap, champion
-
ship leader Kay de Wolf started
back in sixth but moved his
way to second with a series of
passes. He moved around the
brothers and found himself lead
-
ing by lap two. However, de Wolf
crashed out of the lead, putting
Sacha back up front before he
also crashed. De Wolf found
himself leading once again, as
he managed to stay upright and
take the race win over Rick Elz
-
inga and Camden Mc Lellan.
Sacha claimed another hole-
shot in race two with de Wolf
back in fifth. The Husqvarna
rider, de Wolf, again made quick
passes on the opening lap and
found himself stalking the lead
-
ers. By lap five, de Wolf passed
for the lead but crashed shortly
after with a big swap-out, which
dropped him to second. He'd
remount another charge to the
front but suffered yet another
crash, which set him back to fifth
place. Rick Elzinga found himself
leading the race momentarily with
Liam Everts and Simon Laengen
-
felder hot on his heels. Laengen-
felder moved around Everts and
passed for the top spot, which he
held to the finish, taking the race
win and third overall. After two
crashes, de Wolf worked his way
back to second on the final lap.
He earned the overall win with 1-2
finishes and now leads the cham
-
pionship by 65 points over Lucas
Coenen and another 12 points
over Laengenfelder.
Elzinga crossed the line fourth
but took the final podium spot
with 2-4 results.
"Each weekend we are trying
to get as many points as pos
-
sible and preserve our position
at the top of the championship,"
said de Wolf. "Sometimes that
doesn't mean winning every
single moto. I have to be critical
also because the second moto
wasn't good enough—I made too
many mistakes, which shouldn't
have happened—so I will for sure
be working on that. I'm happy to
finally win Lommel."
